Hello,
thanks for your advices. :)
devel/fpp
Whats the next step? Writing a patch to change maintainer?
In a nutshell:
1. Check upstream to see if there's no newer version. If there is, try to
update the port.
2. Change MAINTAINER, indeed.
3. If you can, mirror the distfile and add your site to MASTER_SITES.
I could easily mirror the distfile. But i'm unsure where to add the
entry. There is an entry MASTER_SITE_NETLIB in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk, which definies the url for the distfiles.
But if i understand correctly, the MASTER_SITES listed there provide
every file from Netlib, not just the single distfile.
So how could i add my mirror http://ports.toco-domains.de/fdfpp.tgz to
the port?
4. See if the port has been stagified yet. If the Makefile still contains
NO_STAGE=yes
the port has not been stagified yet. In that case, it needs to be
stagified asap.
5. Try to do as much testing as you can to see if there's anything else
that needs to be done. Although a quick look suggests that this particular
port appears to be in good shape.
Thanks for offering to help out,
Thanks for your help too :)
Greetings,
Torsten
